Lansana Dumbuya Trial Stalls as Magistrate Exits Over Overcrowding and Defense Team Size
Deborah Sorie The trial of National Secretary General of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Lansana Dumbuya Esq came to an abrupt halt on Monday as Magistrate Mustapha Brima Jah and state prosecutors walked out of the court building, citing overcrowding and a dispute over the size of the legal defense team.
Proceedings were scheduled to continue today, but the courtroom was reportedly overwhelmed by the presence of over 100 lawyers appearing on behalf of the accused.
According to reports from the court, Magistrate Jah had requested that the defense team be limited to 15 lawyers and the state prosecution to two counsels to manage the proceedings effectively.
However, the sheer volume of legal practitioners present created a chaotic atmosphere, leading the Magistrate and the State Prosecutor to leave the bench without hearing the matter.
Lansana Dumbuya was subsequently remanded to the Pademba Road Correctional Centre.
They think they will humiliate the magistrate with their crowd? Or APC thinks they are above the law or they are untouchable?
Time will tell and the truth would be revealed. President Maada Bio is the President of Sierra Leone whether you people like it or not.
Go to tye court to justify that he stole your elections in 2023. Sierra Leone is a law country not a lawles country.
May God bless, for saying the truth. They think that will make him free, he is not above the law. If he really sure of what they are saying let them bring their evidences in court.
APC are very lawless
Your Name alone says everything

APC members are very Lawless
You and your family are more reckless
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen; that is the common right of humanity.”
Instead of using power as a way to control others around you, why don’t you just use that same power to control yourself.
